The theme for this month’s Creative Cooking Crew’s challenge was, "You’re invited to a Thanksgiving dinner party — bring an appetizer". So, I decided to bring an Arugula, Fig and Prosciutto Tart.
This is such a beautiful tart and the combination of flavors and textures are absolutely amazing! Fresh sweet figs, salty prosciutto, creamy cheese, and lemony spicy arugula. This tart is very easy to make, especially if you decide to use store-bought puff pastry , and there's only fifteen minutes of total cook time.
This Arugula, Fig and Prosciutto Tart would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table.
Buen provecho!

This is easy to make and the flavors sound fabulous! I purchased the list of ingredients, but am left puzzled over when to incorporate the basalmic and what to do with the other half of the manchengo cheese.....?

Hola Erica, ni idea que son 'figs'? Vivo en NE, son fáciles de conseguir? Y si no con que se pudieran reemplazar? Igual la receta suena deli! Gracias!

Figs son brevas, pero puedes usar peras.
